How Diphenoxylate Hydrochloride and Atropine Sulphate Works
Diphenoxylate is an antidiarrheal agent that works by slowing down the movement of the intestines, allowing more water and electrolytes to be absorbed from the stool. Atropine is added in a small amount to discourage misuse or overdose, as it can cause unpleasant side effects if taken in large quantities.
